Chin Augmentation: Chin and Jaw Implants

Learn about Chin Augmentation and Jaw Reshaping in New York City with Dr. Andrew Jacono.

What Is Chin Implant Surgery?

Facial Implants Facial contouring with custom facial implants by New York plastic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono.

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, augments or reduces the size of the chin. Chin augmentation is usually performed with chin implants but can sometimes be done with fat transfers from other parts of the body. Chin reduction, on the other hand, files, or burrs down the bone to reduce its appearance.

A well-defined chin gives the face balance and is an integral part of an attractive profile.

In men, a strong, square chin and jawline are ideal. For this reason, jaw implants are often used in conjunction with chin implants. In women, the chin and jawline should be defined, but softer and more understated.

During a chin augmentation, Dr. Jacono cuts a small incision inside the mouth or in the natural crease line beneath the chin. He then stretches the tissue to create space for the implant. Fine sutures are used to close the incisions. Any resulting scars are imperceptible.

During a jaw augmentation, Dr. Jacono cuts an incision within the mouth and places the implant where the inside of the cheek meets the gums.

Types of Chin Implants

Dr. Jacono uses a variety of implant materials including Silastic, GoreTex, and Medpor. He also uses customized implants to fit patients’ individual needs. In some cases, he extracts fat from other parts of the body and moves it to the chin or jawline to increase definition. Chin and jawline implants last a lifetime.

How Does a Chin Implant Change Your Appearance?

A chin implant provides major benefits. It not only makes the chin look larger and more balanced but improves the definition of the neck and jawline and also reduces the appearance of a double chin.   

Often, chin implants bring new balance to the nose area, as they bring the chin in better line with the base of the nose. Increasing the height or width of the chin can also make the jawline appear more proportionate.

Am I a Good Candidate for Chin Augmentation?

If you have a weak chin and are unhappy with how it looks, you may be a candidate for chin augmentation. You may also benefit from surgery if you have experienced trauma that physically altered your chin or jawline. Patients with double chins may also seek chin augmentations.

All prospective patients should be in good physical health and refrain from drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco prior to and after surgery.

Why Choose Dr. Jacono for your Surgery?

Dr. Jacono is a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has extensive training in chin and jaw augmentation. He is proud to deliver the best, most natural results possible.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
